According to the Daily Mail, the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Real Betis have all considered the .

It remains to be seen if Arsenal manage to offload Bellerin. But they do appear to be prepared in case the Spaniard does move on.

, Tariq Lamptey and Zeki Celik are attracting interest.

But interestingly, the Mail adds that they are also considering a move for Jonjoe Kenny.

Everton surely unlikely to stand in way if Arsenal make move for Jonjoe Kenny in transfer window

In truth, it appears to be a huge surprise to see Kenny linked with the Gunners.

He goes into this summer off the back of a poor loan spell at Celtic. The 24-year-old started brightly. However, he really struggled towards the end of the campaign.

In fairness, it is hard to criticise Kenny too strongly for his time at Parkhead. Celtic were in a bad place when he arrived. And the situation only became more toxic over the rest of the season.

Nevertheless, Everton would surely welcome a bid from Arsenal for the academy graduate over the coming weeks.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine the defender making the grade at Goodison Park. So Arsenal’s reported interest comes as a real surprise.

Chambers impressed towards the end of last season. Cedric meanwhile, has proved to be a steady performer in the Premier League.

So Arsenal arguably need a marquee replacement if Bellerin leaves. Kenny is surely not that at this point.
